“In Patient B’s case, there was a failure by Johnson to provide emergency treatment.”

“The only time when resuscitation should not be commenced is if such an order is in place or if the patient is showing clear signs of rigor mortis.

“I remember that all patients were cold at the home – there weren’t enough blankets and the heating system wasn’t working.”

Johnson had also put Resident J at risk of harm by giving the patient suction when she was not trained to do.

She also failed to seek guidance regarding Resident D’s fluid intake and did not summon emergency medical assistance for Resident B.

In respect of Resident C, other failings included not recording her blood glucose levels, not seeking medical advice folowing high blood glucose level readings on more than one occasion, not checking her vital signs following her fall on February 13, 2009, and not seeking medical advice following her fall.

NMC panel chairman Robin Somerville added: “The panel was of the view that the breaches in this case are wide- ranging and serious.

“The case was considered very carefully and the panel decided to make a suspension order for a period of 12 months.”
